At this point book two begins. The first eleven items (pp. 1-16) are laid out for two flutes with 'Flauto primo' and Flauto secondo' on facing pages. Item 12 (p. 17) is headed 'Flauto primo' but there is no 'Flauto secondo' part on the facing page. It is possible this page was headed up before it was decided that no further duets would be included. There is no evidence of any missing folio within the manuscript.
